COMMENTARY
The Bible is a
Jewish book, the first believers and missionaries were Jews, and the Gentiles
would not have heard the gospel had it not been brought to them by Jews. Messiah was despised by both Jews and
Gentiles (Isa. 49:7)
SCRIPTURES: Isa. 49:7
SCRIPTURES: Isa. 49:7
Isaiah
49:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Thus
saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man
despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings
shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of
the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall
choose thee.
COMMENTARY
But He did God's
work and was glorified (Phil. 2:1-11)
SCRIPTURES: Phil:2:1-11
Philippians
2:1-11 King James Version (KJV)
2 If
there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any
fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one
accord, of one mind.
3 Let
nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each
esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look
not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let
this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who,
being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men:
8 And
being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross.
9
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name:
10
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.

Isaiah 49:8-13
King James Version (KJV)
8 Thus saith the
Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have
I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the
people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That thou mayest
say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew
yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all
high places.
10 They shall not
hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that
hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he
guide them.
11 And I will make
all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold, these
shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and
these from the land of Sinim.
13 Sing, O
heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains:
for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his
afflicted.

Isaiah 49:8-13 The
Message (MSG)
8-12 God also
says:
“When the time’s
ripe, I answer you.
When victory’s due, I help you.
I form you and use
you
to reconnect the people with me,
To put the land in
order,
to resettle families on the ruined
properties.
I tell prisoners,
‘Come on out. You’re free!’
and those huddled in fear, ‘It’s all
right. It’s safe now.’
There’ll be
foodstands along all the roads,
picnics on all the hills—
Nobody hungry,
nobody thirsty,
shade from the sun, shelter from the
wind,
For the
Compassionate One guides them,
takes them to the best springs.
I’ll make all my
mountains into roads,
turn them into a superhighway.
Look: These coming
from far countries,
and those, out of the north,
These streaming in
from the west,
and those from all the way down the
Nile!”
13 Heavens, raise
the roof! Earth, wake the dead!
Mountains, send up cheers!
God has comforted
his people.
He has tenderly nursed his beaten-up,
beaten-down people.
